Chicago rookie Matt Shaw belted a two-run shot, his 12th homer of the season and 10th since the All-Star break. His blast on Friday gave the Cubs (88-66) a 4-2 lead in the fourth inning, but Chicago surrendered the game's final five runs to lose its second straight contest after clinching a postseason berth.
The Cincinnati Reds own tiebreakers over the New York Mets and Arizona Diamondbacks, assuring a playoff berth if they tie either or both.
